Media reports later on Saturday said the death toll had jumped jumped to 1,644, citing the country's military junta. Friday's 7.7 magnitude quake, among the biggest to jolt the Southeast Asian nation in the last century, crippled airports, bridges and highways amid a civil war that has wrecked the economy and displaced millions. A day after making a rare call for international assistance, Myanmar's junta chief, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, traveled to hard-hit Mandalay near the epicenter of the quake, which brought down buildings and triggered fires in some areas.
